Product information
Combining flavours of black cherry, mulberry and red plum with touches of mint, pepper and aromatic cedar, this intensely full bodied yet refined wine is drinking very well now. However, to appreciate this style at its very best, we suggest cellaring this wine for another 5 to 7 years.

Sir Ian Botham Wines
Sir Ian Botham is arguably one of the greatest cricketers that England has ever produced and 1980 was an important year in his illustrious career. It was in this year that he became the first player in test history to score a century and take 10 wickets in the same match, which was against India in his 3rd overseas tour. Nurturing one of his other great passions in life, he brings you this superb Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon in celebration of that year.

Tasting Notes
This wine combines flavours of black cherry, mulberry and red plum with touches of mint, pepper and aromatic cedar. It's intensely full bodied yet beautifully refined. A wine to savour and enjoy.
History
During Sir Ian Botham's long career in International cricket, he spent time nurturing one of his non-sporting passions; wine and the art of making it. In the making of these wines, Sir Ian worked alongside some of the most renowned winemakers in his favourite regions of Australia. He often says that these are wines he would have on his own table and he firmly believes they represent exceptional value and flavour.
Regional Information
This cabernet sauvignon has been crafted by blending parcels of wine from the prestigious Coonawarra region in South Australia. It is a celebration of one of Sir Ian's most illustrious years in the game. 1980 was the year Sir Ian made test history as the first player to ever score a century and take 10 wickets in the same match. It was against India in his 3rd overseas tour.

Vinification Details
The grapes are crushed and fermented in small stainless steel fermenters. Towards the end of fermentation some of the wine is transferred to new French oak barrels to finish ferment over the preceding weeks. This slow, long ferment gives great flavour definition and integrates the oak into the wine seamlessly. Post fermentation, the wine is matured in new and used French oak barrels over the next 18 months.

Lovely Wine
This is an excellent full-bodied, red. I don't understand the negative reviews, but each to their own, I guess. At just under £11 a bottle, worth trying to see what you think!

Disappointing
Was looking forward to trying this but it wasnt for me - it was too young and needed more time to develop. Shame really

excellent wine
Was hoping this wine would be really good as I love wine and also cricket. It did not disappoint-it is a lovely full bodied, smooth wine. Great value for money. It will definitely be a regular purchase from now on.
